"When I first started, there was nothing. There were no Latin roles, and that`s the only thing that they`ll see you as unless you can convince them otherwise,"

"It was cool to be around that many Latinos, because when I`m on set it`s usually white or whatever. It`s no big deal, but to be around Mexicans and Latins, it`s a little bit closer to family, more camaraderie. It`s a different feeling, and it was cool to see that, and to realize that there actually is a part of Hollywood that is Latin" - referring to the set of "American Family" (2002).
